Structure and Namespace Conventions

This isn't intended to seem dictatorial, but following a few conventions will make the wiki easier to keep organised and make the access control work properly.

Page Naming

Pages should be placed in the correct namespace (see below) and named using lower case letters with only numbers, letters and underscores.

eg:

talks:videoediting
admin:importantstuff

…but not:

talks:How To Edit Video
admin:Things To Remember

Namespaces

The following namespaces are preferred for new pages.

talks:

Separate pages for each talk should be created in this namespace. Page names should not be created exactly the same as talk titles, so a talk called “Video Editing Tools on Linux Part 2” should be created as talks:videoediting_part2.

You can always put the full title when linking to the page, eg:

[[talks:videoediting_part2|Video Editing Tools on Linux Part 2]]

meetings:

This namespace is reserved for single pages for each meeting, named according to the following convention: meetings:may2008.

admin:

Place pages with publicly viewable administrative information here, eg: rotas etc.

private:

Pages in the private: namespace are only accessible by members of the admin group. Confidential information such as contact details for speakers should be put here.

resources:

Pages with helpful information for WYLUG members, such as local companies offering discounts to WYLUGgers.
